论文摘要
我们介绍该体系结构并分析大都市规模的量子网络的应用，该量子网络仅需要有限的硬件资源为最终用户。使用基于离散事件的量子网络仿真工具NetSquid，我们评估了几种量子网络协议的性能，这些量子网络协议在拓扑，硬件和信任选择方面涉及两个或多种配置中的两个或更多用户。我们的分析考虑了损失和错误，并考虑了与现在或近期技术相对应的现实参数。我们的结果表明，当今实用的量子增强网络功能已触及，可以在更先进的技术可用时为进一步的应用做准备。
We present the architecture and analyze the applications of a metropolitan-scale quantum network that requires only limited hardware resources for end users. Using NetSquid, a quantum network simulation tool based on discrete events, we assess the performance of several quantum network protocols involving two or more users in various configurations in terms of topology, hardware and trust choices. Our analysis takes losses and errors into account and considers realistic parameters corresponding to present or near-term technology. Our results show that practical quantum-enhanced network functionalities are within reach today and can prepare the ground for further applications when more advanced technology becomes available.
